The game
With a substitute lineup, Flamengo started the match with possession in the attacking half, seeking to pass the ball from foot to foot. Five minutes in, Flamengo managed to find the back of the net through Louvain, but the assistant referee flagged Rayanne for offside.

In the 11th minute, Vasco took the lead with Thatiely, who took advantage of a cross from a dead ball to score the first goal of the game: 0-1. At a disadvantage, the Meninas da Gávea tried to exchange passes in the attacking field to open up space in the Vasco defense.

In the 26th minute, Mengão leveled the score at Gávea! Kaylaine Jr. sent Tuca to the left side of the box, who shot toward goal. The goalkeeper palmed it away at Gica's feet, who simply tapped it into the net: 1-1.

Two minutes later, the Meninas da Gávea turned the game around! Duda Rodrigues received the ball up front, skillfully dribbled past the goalkeeper, and slotted it into an empty net: 2-1. The Rubro-Negro grew in stature in the final stretch of the first half and went into the break with the advantage.
At the start of the second half, Mais Querido extended their lead with Rayanne! Cida crossed into the box and the full-back headed it into the back of the net: 3-1.

Mengão continued to control the match and continued to attack, seeking more goals. In the 19th minute, Gica received the ball on the left side of the box and fired a cross. The ball went just wide of the post. In the 26th minute, Gisseli crossed into the box and Sole Jaimes dove in to try and finish, but the ball went over the crossbar.

The Mais Querido tried aerial plays and created danger. In the 40th minute, Jucinara lifted the ball into the box, and Sole Jaimes headed it wide. The game ended in Gávea with a good victory for Flamengo, who took the lead in the Copa Rio Feminina.
